Happy Easter

...to everyone and hope like me you are getting to relax a little (and here in the UK enjoy the glorious weather we are having). No crafting for me (sad face) as we are visiting both mine and my hubby's parents this weekend but I do have a card to post that I made on Wednesday that I would like to enter into a few challenges. I was in my local Dunelm Mill shopping for house things when I spotted this adorable stamp in their newish craft section, so adorable in fact I used him that very evening to make this card.

I've tried something new for me, which is white on white and apart from the colouring on the image have just accented the card with some punched flowers and pearls (image, pearls and flowers coloured with ProMarkers to co-ordinate). I wanted to add some texture to the white background so the first white panel was made by embossing with a Swiss dots embossing folder and then glittering the dots with Stickles and the second panel was made using by scoring even lines with my Martha Stewart score board and again glittering the embossed lines.

About Me

I am married to Daniel and I am a full time mum to my gorgeous little boy Elliot and newborn baby Emily born January 2013. I have been a crafter without really knowing it since I was a little girl, but have expanded my talents from those early days of finger painting and playing with glitter. My main passion is card making using rubber stamps but will try my hand at most crafts. I was lucky enough to be named Papercraft Essentials Magazines 'Papercrafter of the Year 2012.
